Can you be more specific? What is the constraint you're seeing?

For JSC, right now the cutoff is set to 256 bytes: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/8bbba2aa777cf326e24a4e5c63b1f51bd52315ff/Source/JavaScriptCore/heap/Heap.h#L645
I realize another possible solution is that implementations with imprecise external memory tracking could treat
change_in_bytes
as a floor on the return value -- basically, pretending that at least the currently requested change has had an effect. On Node's side this would basically be a docs change instead of a test change. At a glance from the PR #14310 where this was originally added, it seems like the question of what to do with an engine that cannot track external memory at all was brought up but not resolved, and it doesn't look like the possibility of memory tracking existing but with a minimum was brought up. The documentation only really describes this function's effect in V8.I'd be happy with either approach.

IMO, the node-api adapter for WebKit should normalize small values if this is a WebKit constraint.
